This is Brigitte(“Brih-GEE-teh”).
Say something nice about her.
You can talk about other Overwatch things too, I guess.
I like her.
I also think that all the crying about her is totally unwarranted because she has an radius of about two to three meters around her where she’s really strong but that’s about it. I guess Tracer players aren’t used to getting countered so they’re salty but almost every other offense hero can deal with her easily from a distance so they just need to switch it up.

new hanzo is looking super strong
I was kind of worried that Hanzo would get “overbuffed”, as Overwatch has a tendency to, at least lately, nerf people too much, or buff them a bit too much (like they did with Sombra and Mei). I’m not saying it’s easy to balance proper, since it’s not, but it does sort of fit with the pattern. At least now the scrub Hanzos are going to learn to aim and not just throw Scatter Arrow into a crowd and hope for the best, while the rest of the team facepalms.
Sym turret changes are almost exactly what I suggested months ago.
That Ult having “infinite size” sounds wacky as all hell though.
Yeah, her Ult sounds overpowered and awful at the same time. On certain maps it’ll give Bastion, Torb, Junkrat, Pharah etc. the possibility to spam the opponents for free, on other maps you could probably just stand at some corner in the map where the barrier is still visible and kill it without even being close to the area Symmetra wants to protect.
Losing her Photon Barrier will also seriously reduce her survivability. I don’t know how many D.Va bombs I blocked with it since she got it so losing that ability will hurt a lot.
Teleporter not being a comback factor anymore is a huge loss as well.
She’s pretty much just a squishy Zarya now with some slight annoyances in her toolset. Definitely not a fan and I can see a lot of old Symmetra players never touching her again while a lot of other people picking her up.
Briggite is love, Briggite is life.
I honwstly feel like Moira is too good. Now i am of the opinion that this game is better when everyones a bit broken but i fewl Moira is kinda over doing it. Shes good at everything it seema like. She heels like crazy, she does really good damage and heala at the same time, she has a teleport and her ults ranfe is fucking nuts. Only legit counter tactic ive flund that provides good results for the team is deleting her orbs with Defence Matrix. I almost feel like there is no reason to choose other supports before her.
Basicslly shes fucking annoying lol.

Brigitte’s combination of armor and self-healing passive makes her a beast against heroes like Winston. 1 v 1 he hardly does any damage. Eventually his health will get low enough that he has to escape, if Shield Bash is on cooldown. Same for D.va if I shielded her rockets. 1 v 1 she gives you confidence. Tracers, I don’t know why most of them even bother. There are definitely good Tracers who can handle the match-up, but for the others I just need to be patient and I’ll win out eventually.
I upped the horizontal look sensitivity for her so I can whip around for an ally heal then back to the enemy quickly, and for Tracer fights. I might up it even more. Not like I have to aim at anything.
They were right to nerf the Shield Bash width IMO. I once tried to use it to escape a room but got caught on the door jamb. I still stunned someone outside of the room, two character widths away.
Unrelated:
I’ve made so many Tracer players switch in Quickplay, I hope that translates to competitive as well.
I still doubt she’ll have a lot of uses longterm. She’s super free to Junkrat and Pharah, Doomfist can make her life hard as hell, a sneaky Sombra is extremely dangerous, McCree can easily stun her behind the shield and Soldier just destroys the shield from a distance.
Basically for every hero she counters (Tracer, most tanks, other supports) there are two that counter her. It’s baffling how much whining has been going on about her when there are so many answers to her.
The people whining about her will just be more vocal than the ones who understand she’s fine. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if a nerf came later to respond to them. Also, on the Moira thing, my only issue with her (and to a slight degree with Zarya on certain maps) is just that her attack beam sometimes seems to have more reach than it should. I mean granted, I can still usually deal with it, but I kind of feel like it shouldn’t quite reach a flying Pharah that’s THAT high up.
Yeah, I can already see a damage nerf to flail in the future so that Tracer survives the kill combo.
I switched sides, I hate Brigitte now.
Not the character, mind. Still like her as a concept and she’s very sweet but there’s an annoyingly large amount of Brigitte ‘mains’ these days who pick her whatever team composition, map or game mode you’re playing. I’m sick of seeing her already because she’s in every fucking game. Which is a shame because I actually liked playing her in Quickplay these last weeks.
its just cuz shes new to comp, it will die down.
Yeah, exactly. The same thing happened with Moira, then the people who had no idea how to use her got sick of getting wrecked because they were ass and eventually switched off, lol. That, and some people just got bored.
There are still plenty of flanking DPS Moiras about who don’t even know she also has a healing ball.
But yeah, I thought of that as well.
Aaaand Brigtte will get some nerfs. First up is an armor reduction on her Ultimate (only up to extra 100 armor) and later down the line her shield bash cooldown will see an increase of a second to 6s total.
Nothing that’ll break her but yet again the community whining produced results.
